Employees at Kenworth's Chillicothe, Ohio, plant recognized their milestone 200,000th truck this week during a special ceremony attended by Ohio Gov. Bob Taft.

Taft was on hand to celebrate the achievement at Kenworth's largest plant, which opened in 1974. The governor and Chillicothe plant manager Alan Mayne handed the keys of a W900 - the 200,000th Kenworth - to Dan Clary, vice president of Clary Trucking in Chillicothe, Ohio.
Clary Trucking's new W900 with 62-inch AeroCab sleeper, powered by a Cummins N14 435-500 horsepower multi-torque engine, will be the first W900 in their fleet. It joins 25 Kenworth T800s, all Cummins powered, which are used to haul vans, flatbed and dump trailers.
Clary Trucking also owns Chillicothe's 100,000th truck - a 1994 T800 with Cummins M11 370-horsepower engine. "That truck still runs great," said Clary. "It has more than 400,000 miles on it and the only repair has been a couple fuel injectors."
When he heard that truck number 200,000 was coming down the line, Clary let Kenworth management know that they'd be honored to purchase it, if the truck was not already spoken for.
